The team at the Preston brewpub has been letting a few beer-filled barrels run wild and has now reached a point where they're ready to blend them with a younger base beer and release it to the world.

As they do so, they've offered to share the experience with 20 of our supporters, who will be guided through the blending process, using different barrel aged beers with a base beer to develop a Cabal special blend that will be kegged off then tapped on a future date.

There is a small fee of $20pp this time around, which includes beers at the masterclass, accompanying nibbles and a little something to take home. Cabalistas can buy tickets now via their member's area.

The masterclass kicks off at 7pm on March 15.

For those who miss out, Tallboy & Moose will give all members their first glass of the Cabal blend free on the day it's launched – look out for details nearer the time.

The Crafty Pint is an independent online magazine and resource for anyone interested in craft beer in Australia. We bring an honest, old-fashioned journalistic approach to beer's brave new world, telling stories because they're worth telling not because someone is paying us to write them.

Like many of the people who have changed the face of beer in Australia, we believe in authenticity, integrity, enjoyment and love. We hope to play a role in helping good beer, brewed by good people, find its way into the hands of more drinkers.
